Three groups. One cohort.
Coaching that meets you
where you are.
Every writer in the cohort is placed in a small group based on their current stage — so the conversation is relevant to exactly where you are, not where someone else is.
This is not a course. It's a coaching cohort.
You won't sit through pre-recorded lectures. You'll work, get feedback, come back with real questions, and move forward — with a small group of like-minded writers and a coach who knows this specific world.
Group 1
You Haven't Started Yet
You have a story — or an idea for one — and you're ready to understand the landscape before you invest time and energy heading the wrong direction.
Group 2
You Have Something Written
You've finished (or nearly finished) a manuscript, and you're not sure if it's good, marketable, or what to do with it next.
Group 3
You're Ready to Pitch or Already Published
You're ready to submit or already have a book out — and you're deciding what comes next for your career.
Built for writers with full lives.
You're Placed in a Small Group
Based on your writer stage — not more than 10 per group — so every session is relevant and everyone gets real attention.
We Meet Twice a Month
Live on Zoom. Not weekly — because you need time between sessions to actually do the work, not just absorb information.
You Work Between Sessions
Real assignments. Real progress. Each session builds on the last. 90 days is long enough to actually change something.
NICE TO MEET YOU
I'm Terrie Hellard-Brown
I'm a missionary and church planter living in Thailand, a Christian children's author, and the founder of Hypurpley Books — an independent Christian publishing imprint.
I've been in the Christian children's writing world long enough to have made most of the mistakes I'm going to warn you about. I built a writing career in the margins of full-time ministry, teaching, homeschooling, and life overseas — which means I know exactly what sustainable looks like when your life is already full.

Everything you need to move forward.
The cohort includes six core topics, paced across 90 days to give you time to apply each one
before we move to the next.
6 Live Group Coaching Sessions
Two per month, 60-75 minutes each, tailored to your writer stage group. Real coaching, not Q&A theater.
Full Digital Resource Bundle
Worksheets, frameworks, and tools covering craft, platform, publishing, and career strategy — yours to keep.
Six Core Topics
Vision & goals, audience & niche, manuscript evaluation, publishing path decisions, platform strategy, and next steps.
Accountability Between Sessions
You'll leave every session with a specific next action.
The work happens between calls —
that's where progress is made.
A Coach Who Knows This World
Not generic business coaching. Coaching from someone who has published, built a platform, and built it in the margins of a full, faith-rooted life.
A Community of Like-Minded Writers
Small enough to know each other.
Focused enough to stay on topic.
Women who get what you're building and why it matters.
